Mount Vernon ISD board adopts 2025–26 budget amid inconsistent line-item figures
Summary
Trustees unanimously approved the 2025–26 budget Aug. 25, 2025. The minutes list revenue and expenditure figures as written in the record, which contain inconsistent numeric formatting; the board approved the motion 7–0.
The Mount Vernon Independent School District Board of Trustees voted unanimously Aug. 25 to adopt the district’s 2025–26 budget.
Member Donny Richards moved to adopt the budget "as presented," and Member Lynda Baird seconded; the motion passed 7–0. The board minutes record budget figures as printed in the meeting packet: "828,273,177 in Revenue" and expenditures listed variously as "$28,274,742" and "Total Budget Expenditures = $280,274,142." The minutes contain inconsistent numeric formatting; the article reports the figures as they appear in the record rather than reconciling them.
The minutes also break out expenditures by fund, listing General Operating Fund 199 expenditures as $211,079,698 and Debt Service Fund 599 expenditures as $6,251,850. School food-service expenditures are recorded as $942,594. Trustees did not amend the figures during open session; the board adopted the budget by a unanimous 7–0 vote.
